Birds - New Robin Species Found

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/16/2008 - 12:42.

I came accross this article in the August 15, 2008 Zootaxa Journal about a new bird species, called the Olive-backed Forest Robin. It was found in Gabon, Central Africa and is the 753rd known bird species found there. It was first found in 2001 but now it is confirmed that it is in fact a new species as it differed from other robins found there.

Anyone have any more information on new bird species found?

New Babbler Bird Found

I recall about two years ago a new bird species was found in India. It was reported in the India Bird Journal. I have no clue on the numbers of these birds and their current population size. Does anyone know anything more on them?
